So we eat gluten free and I have found that I am totally fine with no gluten. I have found great substitutes and recipes for cookies, cakes and pasta but I NEED PIZZA!!!! Anybody out there know a great recipe or a premade yummy pizza. I have already tried udi's and it was horrible.  Thanks everyone!

I buy the Udi's gluten free pizza crusts and make 'homemade' pizza. My son also loves the Udi's spinach and feta cheese frozen pizza. He is also allergic to tomatoes, so that fits the bill.

I get the Donato's  pepperoni at the grocery store. they are certified, and doctor it up at home.  Even my gluten eating Hubs loves it.  I put sauce on again, double the cheese and any other fixings you want.

I bought a box of pizza crust mix a while back and that wasn't bad. I think it was Glutino brand??  It's a little hard to work with because it's so sticky but if you use wax paper or plastic wrap when handling it's fine.  We made this Open Original Shared Link the other night.  It wasn't bad.  It gets a bit salty though.  One change we will try next time is after the crust is pre-baked is to put it on a pizza pan for the final cooking.  I think it would crisp up the crust more but you have to use a glass pan to start.

We have used the Udi's gluten free crust and made our own pizza.  You can find Papa John's pizza sauce recipe on the web and add your own toppings.  We really enjoy that.  My son also tried the Freschetta gluten free pizza and said it was good.

We love Schar shelf-stable crusts. I've only ever seen them in one store, but you can buy them online. They are individually wrapped and come two per box, pre-cooked. You add sauce, cheese, and other toppings and bake just long enough to cook the toppings. If you bake them on one of those metal pizza trays with little holes in it, the bottom stays firm and does not get mushy.

Against the Grain, hands down

Even my wife who is not gluten-free likes it

It depends on where you live. If you're a New Englander you're probably out of luck. If you live elsewhere in the country you can probably find a frozen gluten-free pizza that tastes better than most pizzarias in your area.

 

I have been all over the country and long before I went gluten-free, I could never find a decent pizza outside of New England. There WAS one place in San Diego that was pretty good, and there is a place here in western South Dakota that's pretty good. But in other places usually you can't get a decent crust and they don't use the right cheeses, sometimes they put the toppings UNDER the cheese so it traps the grease, the sauce is either flavorless or they paint it on with a brush so it's too dry.

 

I worked in several pizzarias in Connecticut so I KNOW how it should be done. Here in my town people think Pizza Hut is good. In Connecticut no one but tourists would step foot into a Pizza Hut when the knew they could get a truly GOOD pizza just about anywhere else.

 

(Yes, I'm having a bad day - threw my back out. So I'm grumpy. But everything I said is true!)

If you want to order some frozen from a great gluten-free restaurant, try this: Open Original Shared Link. I ate there last weekend while in the area and it was the best gluten-free pizza I've ever had. 

 

Otherwise, if you cook, here are some links to recipes:

      Recovery from gluten challenge

      Thank you so much for your response! I have a follow-up appointment with her pediatrician next week, and also an appointment with her pediatric GI Dr. Your message gives me some ideas for questions to ask the doctors. My daughter went strictly gluten-free in January following her first endoscopy so I’m guessing her diet is pretty solid. She is compliant b...

      Recovery from gluten challenge

      While the positive endoscopy confirms the diagnosis, it's important to be skeptical of the idea that your daughter will simply "bounce back" to a pre-challenge state. The gluten challenge was essentially a controlled, prolonged exposure that likely caused significant inflammation and damage to her system; it's not surprising that recovery is slow and that...

      Brain fog

      The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium. Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend...

      Were you doing any of the new home construction yourself? Drywall compounds and adhesives used in construction have been known to cause problems for some celiacs.

      Feel like I’m starting over

      Hello @Scatterbrain and welcome to the forum I am sorry to hear you have had a return of your symptoms. My first thoughts were that stress can cause IBS-like symptoms - a friend of mine has been suffering a huge amount of stress and when that happens she gets diarrhea. But you say that you haven't got any bad abdominal issues, so perhaps you...

      Recovery from gluten challenge

      By Kirita · Posted

      Thank you so much for your response! I have a follow-up appointment with her pediatrician next week, and also an appointment with her pediatric GI Dr. Your message gives me some ideas for questions to ask the doctors. My daughter went strictly gluten-free in January following her first endoscopy so I’m guessing her diet is pretty solid. She is compliant but also reliant on others to make her food (at school and home) but she didn’t have this problem prior to the gluten challenge when she went strictly gluten-free. It really makes sense to me that the gluten challenge inflammation hasn’t healed and I will be asking her doctors about nutritional issues. I ask for anecdotal stories because the research surrounding the gluten challenge seems to be inconsistent and inconclusive (at least what I’ve been able to find!). Thank you so much for your response!

      Recovery from gluten challenge

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While the positive endoscopy confirms the diagnosis, it's important to be skeptical of the idea that your daughter will simply "bounce back" to a pre-challenge state. The gluten challenge was essentially a controlled, prolonged exposure that likely caused significant inflammation and damage to her system; it's not surprising that recovery is slow and that a subsequent exposure hit her so hard. The persistent fatigue is a major red flag that her body is still struggling, potentially indicating that the initial damage hasn't fully healed or that her system is now in a heightened state of reactivity. Rather than seeking anecdotal timelines from others, her experience underscores the critical need for close follow-up with her gastroenterologist to rule out other nutrient deficiencies commonly caused by celiac flare-ups, like iron or B12, and to consult with a dietitian to scrutinize her diet for any hidden sources of cross-contamination that could be perpetuating her symptoms. The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs.

Brain fog, like other celiac disease symptoms, does improve after you to 100% gluten-free, and supplementation will also help.
